Japanese Paper-Cut Travel Illustration

Create a stylized editorial illustration based on the reference photo, transforming the real beach scene into a sophisticated hand-painted cut-paper travel artwork. Show two young women joyfully jumping above shallow ocean water, captured from a low, wide perspective. Preserve the original composition, body poses, clothing silhouettes, jumping motion, shoreline, distant tree-covered island, bright blue sky, and splashing water.

Use a minimalist Japanese-inspired paper-cut illustration style with clean organic shapes, layered flat colors, subtle paper grain, soft shadows, and slightly imperfect handmade edges. Simplify the people into elegant illustrated figures while keeping their poses recognizable: one woman wearing a dark charcoal short-sleeve top and gray pleated skirt, the other wearing a black long-sleeve top and flowing white skirt. Their arms are raised naturally and their legs are bent backward mid-jump.

Replace realistic textures with soft layered shapes: pale blue ocean, cream sandy shoreline, muted green coastal vegetation, warm beige highlights, and a clear powder-blue sky. Add simplified white water splashes beneath their feet and subtle distant islands and trees.

The final image should feel like a premium Japanese travel magazine illustration / handcrafted paper collage, calm, nostalgic, artistic, and playful. Maintain generous negative space in the sky, balanced composition, soft pastel color palette, clean silhouettes, subtle depth from layered paper, delicate shadows, high-end editorial design, no photorealism, no 3D CGI, no excessive outlines, no clutter, no text.

Vertical 4:5 composition, high resolution, polished illustration, visually faithful to the reference pose and framing.
